    摘要: Transistors (21, 41) employing floating buried layers (BL) (72) may exhibit transient breakdown voltage (BVdss)TR significantly less than (BVdss)DC. It is found that this occurs because the floating BL (72) fails to rapidly follow the applied transient, causing the local electric field within the device to temporarily exceed avalanche conditions. (BVdss)TR of such transistors (69. 69′) can be improved to equal or exceed (BVdss)DC by including a charge pump capacitance (94, 94′) coupling the floating BL (72) to whichever high-side terminal (28, 47) receives the transient. The charge pump capacitance (94, 94′) may be external to the transistor (69, 69′), may be formed on the device surface (71) or, may be formed internally to the transistor (69-3, 69′-3) using a dielectric deep trench isolation wall (100) separating DC isolated sinker regions (86, 88) extending to the BL (72). The improvement is particularly useful for LDMOS devices.

    摘要: Transistors (21, 41) employing floating buried layers may be susceptible to noise coupling into the floating buried layers. In IGFETS this is reduced or eliminated by providing a normally-ON switch (80, 80′) coupling the buried layer (102, 142, 172, 202) and the IGFET source (22, 42) or drain (24, 44). When the transistor (71, 91) is OFF, this clamps the buried layer voltage and substantially prevents noise coupling thereto. When the drain-source voltage VDS exceeds the switch's (80, 80′) threshold voltage Vt, it turns OFF, allowing the buried layer (102, 142, 172, 202) to float, and thereby resume normal transistor action without degrading the breakdown voltage or ON-resistance. In a preferred embodiment, a normally-ON lateral JFET (801, 801′, 801-1, 801-2, 801-3) conveniently provides this switching function. The lateral JFET (801-3) can be included in the device (70, 70′, 90, 90′) by mask changes without adding or customizing any process steps, thereby providing the improved noise resistance without significant increase in manufacturing cost. The improvement applies to both P (90-1) and N channel (70-1, 70-2, 70-3) transistors and is particularly useful for LDMOS devices.
